Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL,
CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety labo-
ratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue
to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the
motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically
restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air
pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before
the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher
than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-
out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not
run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.
ACCESSORIES

ASSEMBLY
Unpacking
1. Remove unit from carton and discard all packaging.
INSTALLATION
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the
wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric cur-
rent. This air compressor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must

Outlets
Plug
Grounding Pin
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used has
the same configuration as the ground-
ed plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
See illustration.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each
use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct
outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot recep-
tacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases.
12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
The use of an undersized extension cord will cause voltage to
drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using
an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attach-
ing another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as
needed.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit require-
ments.
Risk of Opertion.Certain air compressors can be operated on
a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only
time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T"
in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor
repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from
a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this switch in the On (I) position to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and Off (O) to remove power at the end of each
use.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The pressure switch automatically starts the
motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure.
It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out"
pressure.
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
"cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by
"popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch
"cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pres-
sure in the tank.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn
regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design
cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is
perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts.
You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working
air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
Drain
Valve
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air
Check Valve
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The
motor has an automatic reset thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason,
the overload protector will shut off the motor.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting. The compressor will automatically
restart after the motor cools.
